The Hand of Joy

In tune with Sunday celebrations is this happy video of a hand. Yup, you read it right. It’s not a typo. The star of this video is a hand that goes around Mumbai spreading joy and reminding us that our religions and stations in life may differ, but we are ultimately all human. That we are all made of the same basic elements.

This is not a new sentiment. Several hundred years ago, William Shakespeare too observed in his play The Merchant of Venice: “If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh?” Yes, we do. We are all fundamentally the same.

And so, without much further ado, we present this happy video of the faceless individual who reminds us that we are one, and any one of us could make the difference. Let’s spread this wonderful message – like the great Bard, and the creators of this video, and many other souls who have stood for the greater good. Let us also help spread the sentiment of unity, empathy, understanding and humanity.
